[TR] Quick TR3 Brake Line Question

[Wayne Brazinski]

You are correct as usual Randall, and sorry for the poor description.  I
just hopped under the car to refresh my memory.  So the front calipers and
consolidated rear drums present 3 male connectors that match the type
provided on the original vehicle.

I will need to re-plumb the braking system so the rear drums go to a single
master cylinder and the fronts go to the second master cylinder - thus
creating redundancy in the event of a failure in either circuit.

If I use the regular copper nickel line sets we would normally use I will
have to change the British male fitting where it connects the USA Master
Cylinder.  If I use USA piping I will have to produce a female that will
connect to the 3 British Male Connectors.

So I guess my real question is - is there a piping kit or toolset that would
allow me to make brake pipe sets with the different ends on?

THANKS!!

Wayne
